What are you teaching your kids?

What do you see

Igniting your workplace with a sense of integrity and joy- sounds lofty, huh? Truth be told the joy naturally follows from the integrity. Ever worked in a place that lacked integrity? I'm betting you didn't have much joy there did you? What is it that makes a place be filled with integrity?

Webster's defines integrity as an unwavering commitment to a firm moral code. In my experience it is much simpler. It is doing the right thing no matter who is- or isn't- watching.

Take the grocery cart back.
Don't detour to go to Walmart after your sales call & submit that on your mileage report.
Show up where you say you'll be- when you say you'll be there.
Keep the deal you said you'd make.
Don't "borrow" the powerwasher from work.
Eat your green vegetables.
Expect to earn your salary- there is a reason it is called work.
Listen to your customers.
Inform and educate your customers.
Tell them the truth.
Don't hide debt in off-balance sheet subsidiaries.
Refrain from price gouging.
Staying in a workplace that lacks integrity will soil your soul.

and a few specific ones for our friends in healthcare:

Adhere to the patient's wishes.
Ask patients their names- AND what they want to be called.
Tell them your name & what in the heck you're doing to them.
Worry about your scope of expertise not your scope of reimbursement.
Inform the patient- even if the new knowledge may cost you as a practitioner money.
Create a medical treatment plan not an insurance cost/benefit plan.
Remember "getting creative" is often a translation for "Fraud".
Demented patients do not benefit any differently from weekly psychotherapy than they do from a volunteer visit.
They actually benefit more from a visit from their dog.
Don't order a dermatology consult on an actively dying patient.
Find out what quality of life means to your patient before initiating heroic measures in terminal conditions.
Remember that no one ever has to die in pain.
Greet every day with love in your heart.

You'd be surprised at how few have the grit and the courage to adhere to these standards and demand them in their workplace. I met such a person today. She walked away from money and convenience and ease in the name of ethics and integrity- on multiple occasions. She simply has no stomach for grey areas when it comes to doing the right thing. She has paid dearly both personally and professionally for these high standards.
